My car's best time so far is 12.82@109.2 with a 1.934 60'. My best MPH was 109.92. I let doofoo drive the car for me becasue he is 100lbs lighter, and he got a 12.793@109.04. For some reason, even with the DRs I cannot get into the 1.8s in the 60'.

That was an amazing run dude! You were just FLYING away from me! Of course that was the run the tires decided to loose 100% of traction on, and attempt to put me into a wall.

Well, the car has Stage 2 and I was running Nitto DRs. I think I should have run some faster times then I did though. After talking with Vadim he thinks that my IC coolant pump might be on its way out. Anyway, I am going to get rid of my porterfield pads and put back on the MB ones. Doofoo and I both had a hard time getting the brakes on my car to hold the car when power braking.

yea, sounds like something is wrong, with stage 2 i would expect you should be breaking into the mid 12s @ 110-111mph!!! What was the temp out that night? Hopefully by the end of this year I should be breaking into low 12s w/o nitrous.

The temp was in the 50s-60s.

I hope to be there with you!

I need to find some other cheap stuff to do to my car. So far I have spent under $500 (just pulleys, no software for this run) and am at 12.706 at 109.55. lol

Doesn't look like DR's are really going to give me any extra, I tried Aaron's and had lower 60' times than with my regular tires.. They just seem to break loose.

Any other suggestions? What else is there out there other than headers? LSD? Gear swap maybe help me out? I'd be happy with mid-low twelves as well. Would love 11's but don't want to blow my engine up with Nitrious.

Cheap being relative What rear is in the C32? Anyone running a LSD yet?

I looked into it but all of them seemed WAY too expensive for the performance gain. I think harris is selling the AMG one from Germany, but I dont remember the other brands off the top of my head.

Someone here has installed a Kleemann's LSD, which someone else commented looked a lot like a phantom grip LSD (at least the basic design looks the same.)

There is a nitrous kit for the C32? I am all ears, I would love a 50 shot of nitrous.

[doofoo]

Any other runs? I am really curious what our times are compared to other AMG's. SL55, CL, etc etc..

-Mike

[BlackC230Coupe]

damn, i should have bought a C32!!!!!!! haha! I dont think i will ever learn how to launch!

[BenzoAMGpower]

you'll get it down.... like i said, lots and lots of practice... next time we'll get to the track at like 4:30 like i did last time and work on your launches!!! You still got a 13.2 which is an awesome time for a stock C55 on 19s.

What is it??

It is the piece that runs from the intake boxes to the throttle body. I have the splitter and the SL55 airboxes.

[bmw instructor]

I use my C32 to teach racing at New Hamphsire International Speedway.
My C32 is a 2002 and will be coming of a lease in December 2005.
I would like to make some mods to the C32 at that time.

What was the cost of the parts plus install for the splitter??

What performace gain do you think you are getting??

I also plan to do Stage 1 RennTech.

I have and love the springs from Renntech as it has made the car handle with a lot less understeer.

Have you installed the MB camber bolts up front and the rear camber kit from RennTech

That is a great trap speed.. No pulleys, or anything?

Wow! What tracks are you guys running these phenominal numbers at????

I just ran my C32 At "Test and Tune" at Las Vegas Speedway. I was able to get in 4 runs all being pretty consistant.

My 60 foot times were 2.2-2.3
I ran 14.035, 14.077,14.095,14.122
Every run was between 101-102.2 MPH

I am aware of the fact that the track is at 2200 ft. of elevation.
It was a little windy alhtough temps were in the 60's. One thing I did forget to do was check my tire temps.

Can someone shed some light on perhaps what number i would be running at sea level? Perhaps mid to high 13's?? Maybe it's time for Evosport
